The American rhetoric of Presidents like Barack Hussein Obama and John F. Kennedy, who both served the United States of America are found in the corners of history. The inaugural speeches of Barack Obama and John F. Kennedy are given after reciting the oath of office as newly elected leaders of the country in the case of Kennedy and a second inauguration for the current commander-of-chief. The inaugural speeches of John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama are part of world history knowing that the United States of America is still the most powerful and influential nation in the world. Their voices in the inaugural addresses that they both delivered are very influential that even the younger generations could fathom. The similarities and differences of the two speeches run extremely deep. Both have used some of their spice in their written word, while following some of their great predecessors in theirs, such as Abraham Lincoln. In the case of Obama, he even uses some of Kennedy’s tactics in delivering his message. There are four factors to consider in comparing and contrasting the inaugural address of both presidents, which include the aforementioned factors of historical perspective, manner of presentation, and the content and message the two presidents wish to convey. The inaugural address of each government leader is influenced by historical factors at the time it was delivered before the public. In case of John F. Kennedy, the speech was given when the country just won the Second World War via brave spirits of American fighters who redeemed freedom through death and agony because of the bloodshed. “To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge the loyalty that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny.” On the other hand, Barack Obama delivered his speech amidst economic crisis that the country is facing with hopes of getting over it and...

What's the reason people get married for?
So let me show you a short video first:
America is a nation of peace and equality, however there have always been minority groups restricted from these basic rights. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary marriage is the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a contractual relationship recognized by law. The definition excludes the union of same sex couples. Gays have been fighting for rights since the 1960's, maybe even before then, and yet today. So banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Making this issue illegal is also a form of discrimination.

In the Disney movie Mulan there are many situations in which the parents can be an example of a style of parenting. There are three main forms of parenting styles; authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. Mulan’s parents show the concept of an authoritarian parenting style which leads her and her parents to have a conflict. Rather than her parents submitting to her desires, or being both demanding and responsive, her parents impose rules and expect obedience from their child. The authoritarian style of parenting is said to be the "hard" parenting style. The beginning of the movie the audience notices the various examples of this authoritarian style that is imposed by Mulan’s parents. As a result of Mulan’s parents imposing the authoritarian style she suffers an identity crisis that is described by Erikson’s stages of psychological development.
The movie begins with Mulan waking up and her having to complete her chores, just as her parents have expected her to do so. Aside from doing the morning chores Mulan had a very important meeting with the match maker that same day. Here Mulan is expected to be a "perfect wife" needing to know the ways to pour tea and being liked by her in laws. She basically needed to know how to be a house wife and mother. Unfortunately her parents do not believe in her but coming from the typical authoritarian Chinese culture they still need to impose these expectations on their children. After the Emperor calls out for one man from each...

...On January 20, 1961, the world turned on their television to see how the newly elected American President, J. F. Kennedy, would address the issues of proliferating weapons and the propagating “iron tyranny” (7). Kennedy delivers a speech that aims to ameliorate their many fears and also establish himself as a capable president –one that would take a strong stance for democracy in a war against communism. By employing well-crafted syntax, specific diction, and explicit tone, Kennedy is able to eloquently present his purpose and unify his audience under a shared sense of purpose.
The first obstacle that Kennedy tackles is the apparent distrust from the American people. Kennedy was an atypical president at the time because he was Catholic and exceptionally young, both qualities that created distrust suspicion in the people. How would he lead a nation with only 44 years of wisdom? Would he dare to meddle with the separation of church and state? However, Kennedy quickly topples all their doubts with his clear conviction. Although his speech used some images of God and Biblical allusions that demonstrated Kennedy’s piety, such as “Almighty God” and “command of Isaiah”, they also illustrate that his priority is actually to fight for democracy as an American citizen (1, 18). When “swears before you [America] and Almighty God”, he cleverly manipulates the syntax to shows the order of his alliance: America first and then God. Furthermore, he...

Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American essayist, lecturer and poet of the mid-19th century once said: “Speech is power: speech is to persuade, to convert, to compel,” and how correct is he even today. Speeches are an essential form of communication in our society as it has the capabilities to approach concerning issues in either a serious or humorous way. To me, an effective speech incorporates useful information, utilises emotions and is appropriate to its context. Throughout my presentation, I will be referring to three speeches, ‘Spotty Handed Villainesses’ by Margaret Atwood, Aung San Suu Kyi’s ‘Keynote Address at the Beijing World Conference on Women’ and Faith Bandler’s “Faith, Hope and Reconciliation”. These three great speeches have transcended time through the speaker’s use of effective language and form techniques in addressing the rhetoric triangle, ethos, logos and pathos. They do not only evoke emotions and show logic but are also interesting to read today.
From here onwards, I’ll be splitting my presentation into three areas: ethos, logos and pathos. I will be demonstrating how the speakers’ ability to precisely target the rhetoric triangle has made it so...

...Humans are the only organisms known to be able to communicate by means of abstract symbols and speech. Ever since the inception of the Darwinian theory of evolution tracing the decent of man from its primeval ancestors has been a generally accepted nuance, however the origin and development of speech has been much more bewildering. Language has grown to be such an identifying aspect of man that it has often been accepted that speech is a trait bestowed upon is by a greater being. However this essay will focus on scientific theory and the purported origins, mechanisms, reasons for, development of civilization and future evolutionary aspects in relation to human speech. The course of the formation of human phonetic language and communication was one that relied on natural selection as well as selective pressures which led humankind to adapt in such a way to communicate with one another to form the basis for civilization.
The mechanisms for speech are the properties which should first be interpreted in order for one to develop an understanding of the aspects of human speech and its implications. There are three main processes involved with the action of sharing an idea between members of the human species. They are the articulation and synthesis of an idea in the motor cortex, the resulting motion and action that occurs within the lungs, glottis, velum, tongue, lips and jaw...

Speech Text Analysis
The young Emma Watson is a British actor and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador; she gives an informative speech over gender inequality and the campaign called “HeForShe. The reason for this speech is that the more she is hearing about this matter, the more Emma realizes that fighting for women’s is quite similar if it was towards men. Therefore, in herspeech she really tries to reach out to young boys and men. Emma has done research over this topic, but also has real life reasons to her decisions. She is a feminist because of what she has witnessed in the past. When at the age of eight Emma was considered bossy simple because she wanted to direct a production, later her girlfriends no longer wanted to participate in sports due to masculinity, and at age 18, her male friends could not express their feelings. Even after her experiences, she has realized that feminism has diminished in meaning.
The introduction of the speech had a great attention getter because Emma pointed out a problem that is usually towards girls, and was asking for help of the audience. While she was introducing the topic, she did not really preview any main points, but only stated the thesis and purpose. In this speech, she is informing the audience on how she was able to speak for this problem she stated, “I was appointed six months ago...
